Banana Halwa ~ For someone special !!

I am never in doubt when I have to bake something for someone's birthday.In fact,I am willing to bake a Birthday Cake for my cousin's friends' wives' sisters' daughter too.Yeah,for someone who is always looking for a reason to bake,anyone's birthday is an occasion.No offense,I am just trying to put my point across here.

Then why not a cake today,for my pretty and sweet ma-in-law as she celebrates her birthday?Well,you have a question there.To be very,very honest I am having a starting trouble.Even the easiest cake recipe is looking kind of hard work to me.I hope I haven't forgotten to bake,oh what a terrible thought!!

I almost zeroed in on this cake from her wonderful blog.Then thought,here I am trying to reduce all the piled up weight from the wedding feasts and surely,the cake is not going to help me one bit.Not that this halwa is fat-free,far from it.But I had so much of this halwa back home that I can pretty much refrain from eating it[I hope].

So here it is,an instant[almost] Banana Halwa that you could whip in less than 10 minutes.

Hey, that is a very new recipe for me. I mean, I have seen banana halwa, but this is a new way. Thanks for this. Please do send it to "Celebrate sweets - halwa" event, check the details on my blog (left side event's list).

Birthday wishes to your MIL. I love this halwa. We used to call it ethakka varattiyathu...I was addicted to this during my school days. I dont know whether you remember how I looked during PDC days, I was plump and this was the reason ;) Btw, adding cardamom powder is something new...
